Dota 2 mod — Mana cost for items

---

▶ Download latest version        ▶ Issues & suggestions

---

This mod adds mana/health cost to the icons of in-game items. There are additional modification to upgradeable items and Power threads, indicating their level or the next stat.

The prerendered image modifications were made by Reddit user /u/lerobotsexy, who also originally came up with the idea for this mod.

Item gold cost variant

Adds item gold cost. Useful for quickly estimating networth of enemy heroes. Below is a preview of the combined version.

Ability damage type mod

Color codes the ability damage type in the top right corner. Physical/Magic/Pure are respectively Red/Blue/Purple.

---

The repo contains a bunch of scripts to automatically generate the images based on data included with the game. This way the icon set can quickly be regenerated in the case of a game patch.
